This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Logan Central has an estimated 6,664 residents, up from 6,356 at the 2021 Census — a change of 308 people, or 4.8%. That puts 1,299 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
AreaSearch indicates that Logan Central has a population of approximately 6,664 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 308 residents (4.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,356 people. The figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,653 alongside address validation data since the census. The population density stands at 1,299 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical level across national locations examined by AreaSearch. This 4.8% growth rate since the census is within 1.9 percentage points of the SA3 area (6.7%), showing competitive underlying expansion.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of growth, accounting for roughly 77.2% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilised for each SA2 area. For unrepresented SA2 areas and periods beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 based on 2021 data are used. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data) for individual age brackets. Based on these anticipated demographic shifts, growth is expected to rank in the lower quartile nationally, with the area projected to add 263 people by 2041 compared to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 3.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
64 new dwellings have been approved in Logan Central over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An average of approximately 12 new dwelling approvals have been granted annually in Logan Central, resulting in 64 homes over the last 5 financial years. There have been 10 approvals documented for FY-26 to date. An average of 1.9 people moved to the area for every finished dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, suggesting a balanced relationship between supply and demand that fosters stable market conditions. However, this has recently risen to 8 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, pointing to rising local popularity and potential constraints on supply.
Development initiatives average $230,000 in construction costs, which sits below regional averages and indicates more affordable purchase options. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $119.0 million this financial year, showing strong commercial momentum locally. Logan Central generates roughly three-quarters of the per-person building activity seen in Greater Brisbane, placing in the 28th percentile of locations analyzed nationally. This suggests buyers have fewer options, which helps support demand for existing properties. This volume is also below the national average, reflecting a mature local market and potentially indicating planning restrictions. Detached houses account for 55.0% of new construction activity, while attached dwellings make up 45.0%, with an increasing variety of townhouses and apartments offering choices across different price points from family residences to smaller, more affordable options. With approximately 585 people for every dwelling approval, Logan Central represents a highly established market. Moving forward, Logan Central is projected to add 252 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current levels of construction should provide sufficient housing to satisfy demand, creating positive conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current predictions.

2,097 residents of Logan Central are employed, from a labour force of 2,643. Unemployment sits at 20.7%, with participation at 50.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,530, about 128% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce consists of a balanced mix of white and blue collar jobs, with a notable presence of industrial and manufacturing sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 20.7%. As of March 2026, there are 2,097 working residents, and the unemployment rate is 16.3% higher than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, indicating opportunities for labor market improvement. Workforce participation is also notably low at 50.6% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. According to Census records, a low 5.4% of workers worked from home, though this may have been influenced by pandemic lockdown restrictions.
Local employment is largely concentrated in the manufacturing, healthcare & social assistance, and retail trade sectors. The area shows a distinct concentration in manufacturing, with its share of employment reaching 2.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for only 2.6% of the workforce in Logan Central compared to 8.9% in Greater Brisbane. The presence of 1.0 jobs for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a strong availability of local employment. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the year ending March 2026, the local workforce shrank by 2.3% and total employment fell by 4.2%, leading to a 1.6 percentage point increase in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.2%, the labor force expand by 3.4%, and unemployment rise by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 provide context for potential future trends in Logan Central. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these sectoral projections to Logan Central's specific job mix indicates local employment could grow by 5.5% over five years and 12.2% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and excludes local population projections.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,356 at the 2021 Census → 6,664 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (311061331). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
